First, we want to visualize cancer cases per 100K people by county. We observe that data for Minnesota and Kansas are missing. Ignoring missing data, we see that Kentucky and New York have high cancer rates evenly distributed across all counties.
Then, we want to understand what attributes to high cancer rates. This second graph maps US Power Plants on top of the cancer rate map. The power plants are color coded by the primary type of fuel they utilize. We observe that power plants geographically overlap with counties with higher cancer rates. Some power plants, such as solar fuel plans, are only centered around a small area in the US. Click on the left button to dive into only one type of power plants. Hover over the power plants or counties to see their detailed information.
